Shawn’s 90m project is the biggest highline in Sydney to date. Rigged with the help of a drone. Plenty of sessions and progress, he’ll send it soon for sure!

With 3 highlines connected together we pitched a tent in the middle along with a few hammocks. Sitting out in space with friends admiring the magical view. A weekend of adventure and a truly unique sleeping experience.

We were grateful for the invitation to be part of the first We are Explorers Secret Adventure. A weekend of fun exploring, playing, and camping around Gooch's Crater. Located in Newnes, a ring of 'pagoda' rock formations encircling an empty field of wild grasses sets the natural landscape.

During the day we climbed up the pagodas and explored little creeks, returning back to our camp for an afternoon slackline. As the evening settled in, gathered around the campfire in our cave, we thoroughly enjoyed an assortment of treats, highlighted by a whole salmon cooked to perfection over the fire.

A great weekend, a gathering of a diverse group of individuals, some even experiencing their first ever camping trip. Plenty of smiles, stories and memories as we hiked back to the cars and drove back to Sydney.

HK Highline – Day 7 Today was the big day where everyone came to see Shane and Rio in action. With over 50 people attending as well as a bunch of journalists it was a great day out at the Cape. We set up a 4m high waterline as a third line which was a big hit with the crowd.

HK Highline – Day 6 What's better than a highline? Two highlines. One is set slightly higher than the other and together they make a cross. We captured Shane and Rio walking simultaneously their first time. Into the evening we sat on the cliffs and enjoyed the moon rising. Happy mid-autumn festival from the crew here at Pure Slacklines!

HK Highline – Day 5

One of the main objectives of this trip was to document the first highline in HK in the form of a short film. Today we received some lenses kindly lent to us from Canon HK, allowing us to capture images and perspectives that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Helping us to better tell our story. In the evening we returned to Central for an urban slackline shoot, the first time we've brought the drones to the skyscrapers of HK.

HK Highline – Day 4 The waves were pounding and the wind howling as the first steps were walked on our highline today. Rio completed a half-man as the past few days all came together giving the crew a sense of triumph and relief. More to come as it's only now just begun. Also a first day of drone footage, thanks of the pilots at DJI, which is looking amazing already and Ed our director arrived this evening. As we were packing up a particularly large swell almost engulfed Matt, but he stood his ground well.
